BEIJING - Researchers at the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Second Institute have achieved a breakthrough in next-generation 6G communication by conducting the first real-time wireless transmission, the South China Morning Post reported. 6G, short for the sixth generation cellular network, is the next frontier of telecommunications which promises more reliable and faster communication than
EDMONTON, Alberta - University of Alberta researchers have developed a new catalyst that could revolutionize how we generate power and purify water. When placed in any type of water and provided with a small amount of power, the catalyst produces hydrogen that can be fed into a fuel cell to generate electricity along with distilled
SAUDI ARABIA - Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have developed a novel solar cell with the potential to significantly improve the energy efficiency of renewable sources. The 'tandem' solar cells were developed combining silicon and perovskite sub-cells, making them highly efficient and potentially superior to widely used crystalline solar cells. At the
In today's world, technology is an integral part of our daily lives. With rapid advancements and a continuous stream of new products, the demand for electronic devices is at an all-time high. However, this demand comes with a cost: a mounting pile of electronic waste (e-waste). Tech giants, as key players in the industry, have
GRAND RAPIDS -- West Michigan manufacturers continue to signal a slowing economy as Grand Valley State University’s closely watched monthly purchasing managers survey showed continued softness and increased caution. “We are well aware that the office furniture business remains soft, and we had hoped that the pent-up demand in automotive would help keep the West
SOUTHFIELD - The Motor City ISSA chapter meeting May 18 features Crystal Rena Thomas and Victoria Thomas who will discuss driving change, arriving at adoption: A Practical Approach to Increasing End-User Adoption and Utilization of IT Changes.

Researchers have recently discovered a way to make an efficient battery out of zinc — an inexpensive, commonly found metal — instead of the rare metals used in lithium batteries. Most rechargeable batteries today are lithium-ion batteries, which include other metals like cobalt and nickel, Tech Xplore reports. As electric vehicles (EVs) and large-scale energy storage get more common, we’ll need
DURHAM, N.C. —Researchers at Duke University may one day give countless heart attack patients a second chance for a healthy life. Using rodents, study authors have revealed a potential way to turn back the clock following a heart attack. The human heart is capable of incredible feats, beating over 100,000 times and pumping over 2,000
ANN ARBOR - Michigan Venture Capital Association, the trade association for the venture capital and angel community in Michigan, announced the re-launch of its 2023 Venture Fellows Program. Thanks in part to a $500,000 grant from the Michigan Strategic Fund with support from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the MVCA is positioned to provide matching
NEW YORK - With powerful new chatbots and AI-powered apps and search engines released practically every day, concern about the rapid advance of artificial intelligence has heated up recently to near obsession. And with good reason. The risk of humans losing control over AIs smarter — or at the very least faster — than us has been
